Stuck with Cheap Bourbon? Make 'Southern' Cream Liquor
[Photograph: Lucy Baker] A few months ago I sent my boyfriend to the liquor store to buy bourbon for a party we were hosting. We had decided to serve Maple Leaf cocktails instead of the usual beer and wine. "What kind should I get?" he asked. Southern Cream Liquor View the complete recipe here » "Nothing fancy. Go cheap," I said, figuring he would come back with a bottle of Elijah Craig or Jim Beam. Instead he returned with what can only be described as beneath-the-bottom-shelf liquor. We're talking plastic bottles and screw caps. Convinced that no amount of maple syrup could mask the inferior flavor, I shoved the bottle in the back of a cabinet and sent my...In-Flight Drinks: Spicy Tomato Juice
I asked myself, flanked by holiday travelers ordering all manner of things from the Mad Men Joan-esque flight attendant, why we order what do we when we fly.Video: How to Make the Bloody Bacon and Cheese
From Alie and Georgie, the ladies who brought you The McNuggetini and The Ham Daiquiri, comes The Bloody Bacon and Cheese, a cocktail that combines "the comfort of condensed tomato soup with the warmth of hard alcohol."

Wired has an amusing recipe for a Manhattan-esque cocktail it calls The Manhattan Project. You would be correct in assuming that this is a drink of literally explosive proportions. It involves freezing Mentos into ice cubes and including them in a mixture of Diet Coke, rye whiskey, a splash of vermouth, and a couple dashes of bitters. Whether anyone would nurse that concoction long enough for the ice to melt around the Mentos is a question scientists haven't answered yet. [via Neatorama]...Boozing It Up All Month

Bloody Marys are one of those things that, like cilantro, inspire pure love or massive hatred. At Chile Pepper, we're split right down the middle. Personally, I think a Bloody Mary must include a strong hit of horseradish, celery salt, a sprinkle of lemon zest and, of course, a celery stalk. What's a must-have for you? As alcohol folklore goes, it was the sophisticated palates of New Yorkers who thought the Bloody Mary was bland when it debuted at the St. Regis Hotel's King Cole Bar in Manhattan in 1934. An American bartender, Fernand "Pete" Petiot, who had mixed equal parts of tomato juice and vodka while working at Harry's New York Bar in Paris during the 1920s, created...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
